I was more thinking of using up some of the metric crapton of acrylic my wife has in our basement. The things that pile up when your partner is a crafter and engineering teacher (and descended from hoarders)...
But I do love Etsy.
While it is on the back of the poster map, I can see what @agrayday means if they are saying that one "too busy." Although I personally like the art on it, a transparent acrylic "bullseye" with the bands labeled and in the right scale would be pretty nice. Maybe I could get on that...
I've only read the adventure for the 5e version (so far): It's pretty straightforward:
I'd say it does a good job of introducing the basics of LOTR:5E, 5E players should catch on fast to the differences, new players should catch on fast to the new. I need to look into how the Rules book...
LOL. "Post 'Starters arrived Saturday' to ENWorld was on my todo list for today. I have not read the rules or adventures yet, but--as always for Free League--I'm happy with the production values.

I really appreciate this and am enjoying the tale.
A MUCH younger me trekked Philmont 10 days, 30 years ago, and coincidentally, you were actually there at the same time as a friend's kid. We were visiting them while he was packing, and inspired me to track down info from my trek; I was...
Same, but both! And running both One Ring and LOTR5e are on at least one of those lists.
Maybe if I had a Samwise Gamgee, I could address both adventuring and gardening.
I managed to score a bottle of the first New Holland/D&D beer, but it's stored for a "special" occasion. I wasn't able to grab the bourbon; it was gone by the time I ordered (and it was within seconds of getting the "on sale now" email).
Rum-barrel beers, especially coconut-rum-barrel beers...
Lol! I never thought of that--that Dragonlance lems is enough that minotaurs are almost always Roman-Legion-coded initially for me. Viking minotaurs sound awesome.
